can be, but there are a lot of things in the syncro that are different.
what I would do if I had a 2wd and wanted better traction is to put a syncro
locking transmission in.  not cheap, about two grand, but you end up being
able to lock the two back wheels together which is a great advantage.  I
once had a 65 ch*vy van with posi-traction (same thing essentially) that
would go anywhere... it was amazing.


good luck.

Does anyone know if a vanagon can be converted to a 4 wheel drive syncro?
